SCHOOL vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE Shawnigan Lake won the return match which was played at Shawnigan. The School team was unfortunate in the weather, but the home side was clearly the better team. Owing to transport diffif culties the first five batsmen had to go on in the first carload from Mill Creek where the team was decanted from the bus and, to economise time, had to bat first without benefit of toss. Beckton batted very well for 31, driving all round the wicket and playing with confidence and style. Collett II was batting well till he drugged his foot over the crease, a fatal error with Hickey behind the wicket. Moilliet and Slocombe batted with courage. The remainder failed dismally. No sooner was the School innings finished than the rain came down and in a few minutes the ball became impossible to hold and the ground too slippery to stand on. Hickey was in great form and punished the bowling unmercifully. The School fielding left much to be desired. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SHAWNICAN LAKE Carle II -....... Barton ..................

Anderson lost the toss and Brentwood elected to field. Runs came very slowly against the steady bowling of Lammers. The School batting was totally lacking in aggressiveness and Prance and Redpath threw their wickets away with tame and feeble shots. Moilliet ran himself out by calling for a completely non-existent run. While it is true that Carle II and Collett II were both injured, there was no excuse for a vcry poor display. Collett I was the only batsman to shew any courage. With Collett II suffering from a damaged hand which pref vented' him from bowling until late in the game, chances of victory were not rosy. What chances there were were lost by poor fielding and Brentwood soon hit the necessary runs. Later in the game Collett had his hand bandaged and took four wickets for ten runs in five overs. 25

SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE The very wet morning of May 22nd gave way to fine weather when the Brentwood eleven came to the School grounds. Slocombe won the toss and fielded first, hoping to have a drier ball. The Brentwood batsmen could do nothing with the bowling of Collett II who began with two and finished with three maidens out of seven overs bowled. Redpath bowled better than beforeg and the side was out for a low total. The fielding was very good. Collett had 3 for 3, Rtdpath 3 for 6 and Dalziel 2 for 0. Slocoinbe soon lost Collett I who poked tlie,ball back into the bowlers hands. Beckton was batting wellg but after hitting a lovely six was l,b.w. to a roundfthefwicket bowler. Carle and Collett II hit off the runs. Carle batted well but was very lethargic between the wickets and threw away more than a dozen runs from his own bat and nearly as many of Collett's. His poor running did much to mar a good innings. The rest of the team had some enjoyable batting practice.

His batting lacks aggressiveness. Captained the XI and a Clayton Cup team, he still has much to learn in this department. SLOCOMBE--A Cricketer with the true cricket spirit, observant and full of courage. His batting lacks polish, but has been beyond praise as an example to the rest of the team. An excellent fielder. A most valuable vicefcaptain of the XI and a good captain of a Clayton team. CARLE II-Except on one occasion has been most disappointing as a bat. He has style, reach and strength, but he lacks the wilbpower and concentration to give of his best without cessation. 'A very mediocre fielder, full of mistakes which he could very easily remedy. COLLETT II-Has bowled remarkably well throughout the season and, seemingly always against the luck . His steadiness is remarkable for one of his size and years. Against Brentwood he bowled 56 conf secutive balls of which, in all, only two singles were scored. Is making progress with the bat and, as he acquires confidence, will do well. An excellent fielder.
